Chapter 299: The Way of Tranquility and Quanshan
Just as Shen Fu's side was about to enter a critical period, Yang Zhijun's side also ushered in an important period.
"Uncle Yang, these are the materials exchanged today."
Sha You led a group of villagers to bring the harvest of a busy day to the wooden house where Yang Zhijun and the others lived. It was said to be a wooden house, but it was actually an abandoned warehouse. Although some villagers wanted to give up their houses to them, Yang Zhijun But he gently refused.
Their magic soldiers have actually chosen a place as the site for building a military base in the future, but now is not the time, they must first establish a foothold in this area.
"You're going hunting again with so many dangerous species? Isn't it okay to collect some different types of plants?"
Yang Zhijun took a rough look at the material behind and realized that there were many more dangerous corpses.
"How can this be possible? Uncle Yang, you have sent us enough supplies. It is said to be an exchange, but the actual price in the Imperial City is several times higher. We also want to do our best to pay more."
Sha You looked at Yang Zhijun with grateful eyes. She and the villagers knew very well that the few things they brought could not be exchanged for such things elsewhere, not to mention that Yang Zhijun and others often faced difficulties with the villagers. Give more.
"Haha, it's actually not a loss for us. I exchanged it with you according to our domestic standards. In our country, the labor you paid is enough to exchange for so much food."
Yang Zhijun was telling the truth, or rather he had a lot of reservations. After all, what he gave to the other party was just enough to fill his stomach. He knew very well that getting too much for no reason would make people no longer rare.
"I really want to visit China. It must be very prosperous and beautiful there."
Shayou's eyes showed longing. In fact, it was not just her, but Tazmi and Iyeas too. They had gradually transformed their previous yearning for the imperial capital into their current yearning for China. In fact, this was also because Political Commissar Sun told them to let Yang Zhijun and other magic soldiers talk about Chinese things from time to time, such as customs, moral values, social structure and so on.
Not to mention that in addition to food, they also brought a wide variety of very exquisite modern daily necessities, which were enough to outline in the hearts of these villagers the image of a country where the people live and work in peace and contentment without prosperity or strength.
"Maybe there will be an opportunity in the future. By the way, why don't we see Tazmi and Iyeas today?"
Yang Zhijun smiled. In front of these villagers who are suffering from the country's weakness, their motherland is indeed countless times better, and it will get better and better. This is what they, the soldiers, firmly believe and expect.
While he asked the rest of the people to help the villagers sort out the goods, he had a casual chat with Shayou. Over the past few days, he had become more familiar with this girl who was about the same age as his daughter. Her parents died when she was young, and she and Tazmi The three of them and Iyeas were pulled up by the villagers. When they were very young, they began to learn martial arts from the retired imperial soldiers in the village. Even though they suffered a lot of hardships, they still maintained an optimistic attitude and were kind-hearted. In the animation, they were tortured He did not give in even to death. It must be said that Yang Zhijun's tenderness as a father was somewhat touched.
"Oh, there are two of them. The village chief said that there was a preaching activity on Anning Road in the next village today, so he took the two of them there to help."
Sha You said it nonchalantly. Yang Zhijun's pupils shrank slightly and the smile on his face remained unchanged, but he was calculating quickly in his heart. He knew very well that Shen Fu was cautious about this An Ning Dao. Although in the animation It seems to be a positive image, but the more so, the more cautious you should be.
"An Ningdao? I seem to have heard Ye Raid say that. Do many people in this village believe it?"
Although he felt a little guilty for talking to such a child, Yang Zhijun was also an excellent intelligence officer, and the mission was the most important.
"It's nothing. Although they claim that as long as they do more good deeds, they will be happy, they are recruiting 'charity funds' from the villagers, saying that they are used to help orphans. But everyone is hungry, so how can they have any money to help others? , rather, we are the ones who need help."
The corner of Sha You's mouth was a little bitter. She had heard An Ning Dao several times before when she came here. At that time, the three of them donated their lucky hunting harvests, and ended up starving for two days.
It's interesting. Is it collecting "charity funds" to help orphans? Yang Zhijun's face expression remained unchanged, but he was already a little angry and happy in his heart. The anger was because he was basically sure that this was collecting funds and preaching under the guise of charity. After all, If you are really doing good deeds, you won't come to these poor people who are in trouble. Fortunately, they don't have to worry about anything. In the future, this land that belongs to China will not need this kind of religion.
"Hearing what you said, I'm a little interested. Sayu, how about you take me to have a look?"
However, we can't mess around. Taking rash actions before revealing their true colors will only be counterproductive, and these people seem to be anti-imperial. It's better to understand the situation first and then pay back to Shen later.
At this time, Yang Zhijun did not know that Shen Fu had the idea of delaying the destruction of the empire. Although he had not considered this, he did not have the power to make decisions without authorization. After all, Shen Fu had gradually grown up.
"Uncle Yang, are you also interested?"
Sha You seemed a little surprised. In her opinion, Yang Zhijun was not a person who would put his hope in God. It would be better to say that these soldiers of the Huaxia Kingdom were like this.
"Well, there is a similar saying in our country. Evil will be rewarded with evil, and good will be rewarded with good. However, it is more of an expression of expectation, not a well-founded theorem, so I am somewhat interested in what you said, but , if you do good deeds solely for the sake of getting good rewards for yourself, that would be a bit different."
In Yang Zhijun's view, if you do good deeds to help others out of selfish motives rather than out of pure kindness, then it can only be "quasi-good." Of course, quasi-good deeds at least help others. It is better not to do it or even do evil. After all, There may be people as kind as the mythical Virgin Mary, but there are definitely not many. Aren't they also a kind of mutually beneficial "quasi-good" to these villagers?
"It seems like this, then I'll take you to see it."
Sha You slightly recalled what Yang Zhijun said, her eyes thoughtful, and she felt that she could always learn different things from these Chinese soldiers.
He turned around and spoke to the villagers who were exchanging food, and walked towards the neighboring village with Yang Zhijun and the two magic soldiers.
